An International Study of Film Museums examines how cinema has been transformed and strengthened through museological and archival activities since its origins and asks what paradoxes may be involved, if any, in putting cinema into a museum.
Cere explores the ideas that were first proposed during the first half of the twentieth century around the need to establish national museums of cinema and how these have been adapted in the subsequent development of the five case studies presented here: four in Europe and one in the USA. The book traces the history of the five museums' foundation, exhibitions, collections, and festivals organised under their aegis and it asks how they resolve the tensions between cinema as an aesthetic artefact – now officially recognised as part of humanity's cultural heritage – and cinema as an entertainment and leisure activity. It also gives an account of recent developments around unifying collections, exhibition activities and archives in one national film centre that offers the general public a space totally devoted to film and cinematographic culture.
An International Study of Film Museums provides a unique comparative study of museums of cinema in varying national contexts. The book will be of interest to academics and students around the world who are engaged in the study of museums, archives, heritage, film, history and visual culture.

Our aim in this chapter is to focus on news media, and to provide an overview of the ways in which some crimes are reported in some media in three different European countries: the UK, Norway and Italy . First, we will briefly map out the history and current terrain of the media landscape in each of the three countries. Second, we will explore news values and the aspects of crime that make it inherently ‘newsworthy’. Using Yvonne Jewkes’ (2004/2011) analysis of twelve cardinal news values that underpin the reporting of crime, victimization and justice in the UK – itself developed from a classic study of Norwegian news values first published by Johan Galtung and Mari Holmboe Ruge in 1965 – we will discuss the news values adhered to by media professionals. Following this, we will consider the reporting in each country of a single crime that shocked audiences around the world: the killing of 77 people in Norway on 22nd July 2011. Although an ‘extreme’ offence and therefore in many ways atypical (if any offence can be regarded as ‘typical’) this case illustrates two issues we think worth highlighting. First, it demonstrates the salience of the values that determine a potential story’s perceived newsworthiness. Second, it illustrates some of the subtle discrepancies underpinning crime news reporting in the UK, Norway and Italy, which themselves reflect broader social, cultural and political differences between the three countries, thus implicitly reminding us that there have been other atrocities that have not had the level of attention devoted to them that the murders in Oslo and on Utoya Island did in 2011.

Media studies has traditionally been concerned with issues of representation, stereotyping, identity formation and the ideological workings of media texts. Postcolonial studies has been similarly preoccupied with representation and the dominant narratives circulated about 'other' cultures. Postcolonial Media Culture in Britain examines how these 'other' cultures feature within specific media narratives and genres and how they have also worked to reclaim media representation on their own terms. This volume approaches its subject from two main perspectives: what is created and what is represented. The contributors explore the ways in which black and minority ethnic groups have created art, music and film,in addition to how they have participated in particular types of broadcast and digital media. Furthermore, they are concerned with how these minorities are themselves represented in news, current affairs and documentary, in media policy and in fictional and other artistic forms. Postcolonial Media Culture in Britain introduces a new interdisciplinary dimension to the analysis of media in Britain. It addresses the tangled histories of postcolonialism and bears witness to newly emerging practices and discourses that deserve to be both celebrated and rigorously analysed.

This text is a comparative study of European-related news discourses of two countries of the European Union: Britain and Italy. The central hypothesis of the study is that specific historical, cultural and political factors are powerful determinants of the differences in commitment toward the European project of both news media and political cultures, and have led to different formulations of Europe. The book argues that the Italian nation-state and national identities are inclusive at some levels of a European identity, whereas the British state and national identities are, on the whole, exclusive of a European identity. This underlies the predominant negativity of British media news discourses on the question of Europe and the European Community in particular. The study looks at the formation of national identities and at the ways Britain and Italy have developed broadcasting and broadcasting's role in constructing a national audience. The book contains an analysis of the language and the visual representations of the Maastricht event and the implications of a united Europe.

The starting point for this chapter is the question of ‘why’ community posed by Nancy, Blanchot and Agamben, and their respective attempts to answer it. It then looks at how more obviously political and sociological thinkers have addressed that same question; by tracing the trajectory of the concept in Marx’s definition of community as practical social relations to be realised in a future community beyond capitalism, in Tonnies’ classic distinction of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, in Durkheim’s mechanical vs. organic society, and Weber’s concept of open and closed communities, it hopes to account for some of the ways in which their answers have a bearing on present-day discourses of community.

This chapter analyses the coverage of the 2016 EU referendum in the Italian press and a key broadcast political talk show, taking as its focus the changed context of the Italian political landscape with the rise of populist anti-European political movements from the Northern League (Lega Nord) through the various incarnations of Berlusconi’s parties to the more recent political formation of the Five Star Movement, which has reduced the Italian people’s traditional support of the European Union. In Italy, as has been the case in other European countries, the press and media aligned to progressive parties of the left and centre-left camp predominantly voiced their support for the Remain campaign, while their counterparts on the right and the centre right-parties and coalitions supported the Brexit campaign.

Attraverso un’azione prolifica e incessante hanno lavorato alla genesi e allo sviluppo rispettivamente della Film Library del Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) negli Stati Uniti, della Cinémathèque Française a Parigi e della Japanese Film Library.
Da differenti aree, grazie a un incessante attivismo, hanno modellato queste istituzioni filmiche partendo da una rete di contatti e scambi soprattutto verso l’Europa.
Il contributo, partendo da una rilettura degli scritti e delle testimonianze nel tempo, mira a illuminare similitudini e differenze biografiche e a riconoscerne l’eredità nella concezione del cinema e dei musei.
La loro mobilità e le posizioni assunte potranno rivelare come la storia del cinema si sia affermata attraverso figure simili in maniera “dialettica” rispetto ai panorami internazionali, economici e socioculturali.
